I have been having lots of trouble with the computer which has also effected the engine. Truck has been in the shop 4 times in the last year the onboard computer has been replaced twice. Brakes squeal when trying to stop. Truck smokes during take off like a train which is not normal.
Very dissapointed in this dodge truck, the quality is nothing like my past gm or ford trucks. anyone else had any troubles with computer system with the diesel?
I don't have a diesel, I have a 2005 truck with the 4.7 and have had lots of trouble with how my motor idles due to the computer. The idle jumps up and down all the time and some time the motor hesitates during acceleration. My brakes started to squeal after I had 10,000 miles on the truck so I just keep driving it.
We're having problems with our diesel truck. We believe it's the computer, the dealership believes it's the computer, but the refuse to replace it until they can confirm it actually is the computer. Nice thing about this truck is the problem is intermittent. Of course it works when you bring it into the dealership! Why wouldn't it?!
